Hi! I am a newbie here and this waiting forever is bothering me. I want to know if there is anyone here who just got approved for more than 2 weeks from the USCIS but still don't have their CASE NUMBER yet from the NVC. I tried calling NVC but they said it will take 90 days for them to have our case number. That's insane, because Ive been reading forums and most of them got their numbers after 8 to 10 business days since the approval.Please help me understand what's going on.It's very frustrating.

My NOA2 was approved on June 18th, sent from Texas to NVC on July 9th, and they received it today July 17th. I hope things start rolling along here pretty quickly now. Patience is really a virtue, but this time thing really sucks....lol.
